Abstract
Sports facilities are special cases of large-scale building complexes that demand large amounts of energy and power. This is due to the specific requirements of the thermal energy and the different kind of several activities that need considerable high load demands in relatively short time. Energy self-sufficiency of a building complex is defined as the ability to fulfil its own energy needs. This paper evaluates the energy consumption of the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens and proposes ways to support and enhance its operation, introducing the self-sufficiency concept, where load demand will be served by energy sources from the internal grid of the sport center, targeting to the highest possible autonomous operation. To achieve the minimum imports from the utility grid, the paper proposes the operation of a CHP unit and the installation of photovoltaics (PV), with the support of battery storage system and the existing gensets of the facility.
